TechIT News has established this Privacy Policy to explain how it protects and manages the personal information that it collects from you (the customer) online.

1. Consent for Collection, Use and Disclosure

Your use of the TechIT News site and/or your registration for TechIT News products and services constitute your consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the TechIT News site.

TechIT News may occasionally update this Privacy Policy. When it does, TechIT News will also revise the “last update” date at the bottom of this Privacy Policy. In addition, TechIT News will seek a customer’s prior consent, by email, for any new uses or proposed disclosures of information collected from the customer prior to the change. TechIT News will notify customers by email of changes to this policy that will affect information collected from them in the future. In certain circumstances, however, TechIT News will not inform and obtain the consent of the customer, such as in connection with an investigation of a breach of an agreement, contravention of laws, an emergency where the life, health or security of an individual is threatened, the collection of a debt or in compliance with the request of a law enforcement agency or a court order.

A customer may withdraw his or her consent for collection, use and disclosure at any time by clicking on the Unsubscribe link at the bottom of one of our newsletters. Please note that, if you do, TechIT News may suspend its provision of products and services to you. When you unsubscribe, if you fall within the guarantee period for any TechIT News product and you request a refund, the guarantee will be honored.

2. Accountability

TechIT News collects, at the time of your registration and your sign-on to its web site, certain “personal information”(information that personally identifies you) including but not limited to your name, email address, home or work address, telephone number, and information about your computer hardware and software (e.g., IP address, operating system, browser type, domain name, URL, access times, and referring web site addresses).

TechIT News has implemented this Privacy Policy to protect personal information received from its customers, and to respond to any inquiries. The Privacy Policy also provides that TechIT News will use appropriate contractual means to establish a comparable level of protection for personal information which is sent for processing by third parties on TechIT News’ behalf.

TechIT News has designated responsibility for your personal information to its Privacy Officer, who ensures compliance with the principles in this Privacy Policy. Other TechIT News individuals may be delegated to act on behalf of the Privacy Officer.

3. Purposes for Collecting Personal Information

TechIT News collects and uses personal information for the following Identified Purposes:

(a) to understand customer needs regarding TechIT News’ services;

(b) to develop and provide our web site and our products and services for our customers;

(c) to fulfill your requests for products, services or information;

(d) to communicate with customers and site visitors, when necessary, and to inform customers of upgrades, as well as of other products and services available from TechIT News, its affiliates and third parties;

(e) to allow customers to access limited-entry areas of the TechIT News site;

(f) to personalize some of our services and products for you and to deliver targeted advertisements and offers from TechIT News and third parties;

(g) to bill accounts and maintain payment records;

(h) to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or government request;

(i) to respond to a legitimate claim, or to address our reasonable belief, that you are violating the rights of any third party or any of the agreements or policies that govern your use of the TechIT News site or any TechIT News product or service;

(j) to protect the services, products or rights of TechIT News, including but not limited to the security or integrity of the TechIT News site; and

(k) to identify and resolve technical problems concerning TechIT News’ site, products and services.

TechIT News also uses personal information in an aggregate form (i.e., not individually attributable to you) for its business analysis, operational, marketing and other promotional purposes.

If we hire other companies to provide some products or services on our behalf, then we will only provide those companies the personal information they need for the Identified Purposes, and we will limit their rights to use and further disclose your personal information as appropriate in the course of their work for us.

4. Limiting the Collection of Personal Information

TechIT News limits its collection of personal information to only that information which is necessary for the Identified Purposes. TechIT News does not direct its site to, nor does it knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of thirteen.

5. Disclosure, Processing and Retention

TechIT News does not sell, rent or disclose your personal information to anyone else, except:

(a) to someone you have designated to act as your agent, for one or more of the Identified Purposes (listed in Section 2, above);

(b) to TechIT News’ employees, independent contractors, subsidiaries, affiliates, consultants, business associates, service providers, suppliers and agents, acting on TechIT News’ behalf for any of the Identified Purposes;

(c) as necessary if TechIT Newshas reason to believe that disclosure is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference (either intentionally or unintentionally) with TechIT News’ rights or property, other users of TechIT News’ web site, products or services, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities; and

(d) to respond to judicial process and provide information to law enforcement agencies or in connection with an investigation on matters related to public safety, as permitted by law, or otherwise as required by law.

In addition, as we continue to develop our business, we or our affiliates may sell or buy other businesses or entities, or we may merge with another company. In such transactions, personal information may be one of the transferred business assets. Also, in the event that TechIT News or substantially all of its assets are acquired, your personal information may be one of the transferred assets.

Your information may be stored and processed in the United Kingdom, or in any other country in which TechIT News or its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents maintain facilities. By using this web site, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country.

After your account becomes inactive (that is, if you request to be removed from our database), TechIT News will keep your personal information in its archives. Your information will then be used only as necessary for tax reasons or to prove TechIT News’ compliance with any applicable law.

6. Accuracy of Personal Information

TechIT News will use reasonable efforts to keep customer personal information accurate for the Identified Purposes, and for minimizing the possibility of making inappropriate customer decisions based on such information. Customers are responsible for informing TechIT News about changes to their personal information.  TechIT News will use new or updated personal information it receives from customers to update its own records.

7. Security Safeguards

TechIT News will use reasonable efforts to protect customers’ personal information.

8. Access to Personal Information

TechIT News will afford you a reasonable opportunity to review the personal information in your file, if you so request by writing to:

PO Box 2158
Brockworth
Gloucestershire
GL3 4WQ
United Kingdom

If TechIT News is not able to provide access to some aspect of a customer’s personal information, it will provide reasons for denying access such as; that by doing so would likely reveal personal information about a third party, or that it is confidential commercial information or attorney-client privileged communications, or that the information relates to a breach of an agreement or a contravention of law, or that its disclosure could reasonably be expected to threaten the life or security of another individual.

Customers have the right to request that inaccurate or incomplete information be amended as appropriate, by contacting TechIT News as described above. TechIT News will promptly correct such personal information.
